Multiple vehicle accidents were seen on area highways Thursday night and other school districts are planning to start classes late as a snow and freezing rain covered much of Central Texas.

U.S. Highway 190 and Interstate 35 traffic reduced to a craw not long after sunset.

"Northbound I-35 is backed up almost 8 miles from Belton almost to Loop 363 on the north side of Temple," according to a 9 p.m. Thursday email from Jodi Wheatley, an I-35 information specialist with the Texas Department of Transportation.

I-35 traffic was still backed up this morning.

The Killeen Police Department shut down the W.S. Young bridge that passes between Rancier and Veteran’s Memorial Blvd.

Police said the bridge was iced over and cautioned motorists to drive with care.

"If it is not necessary to be on the roadways during this weather we are asking you to please stay inside," read a statement released by KPD on Thursday.
